Welcome to the Meta Layer. Nillion is a public network based on the invention of a novel cryptographic primitive, Nil Message Compute (NMC), which represents a generational leap in decentralized technology and Secure Multi Party Computation (SMPC). Its unique node operation has significant implications for data, security, privacy, and interoperability. In summary, Nillion: 1. Introduces a decentralized way to store and process private information 2. Renders traditional encryption obsolete 3. Enables the creation of a Meta Layer that supercharges and connects existing blockchains (e.g. decentralized secure enclaves, interoperability and more) 4. Enables significant new real world, decentralized applications 5. Is Post Quantum as it uses 'encryptionless' technology called Information Theoretic Security.

Voliro is developing advanced flying robots to perform Inspection and Maintenance tasks more safely, cost-effectively and faster than conventional methods. With its tiltable rotor system, Voliro expands the abilities of service drones from “fly and see” to “fly, see and touch”. Voliro T, our flying robot, can be equipped with a variety of payloads, such as Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) or Lightning Protection System (LPS) sensors. The unique 360° drone design of Voliro T allows inspection of curved and sloped surfaces. No other flying inspection robot boasts these capabilities. Voliro aims to provide innovative UAVs with unique capabilities. We promote the concept of omnidirectional aerial vehicles, where position and orientation of the flying platform are completely independent. This ability is crucial to achieve robust and reliable interaction with the environment.

Distran manufactures and markets ultrasound cameras that have the ability to detect ultrasounds. Using 128 ultrasound sensors, each sensor registers incoming sounds with a slight time delay of less than one millisecond. This enables the camera's internal algorithms to determine the location of the sound source and display it in real-time for the user. The concept is similar to the antenna arrays used in astronomy or military applications. However, the Distran device is handheld and provides industrial professionals with a quick and efficient way to identify faults like gas leaks. This is particularly useful in installations with extensive pipe networks spanning hundreds of kilometers and containing thousands of potentially leaky components. In addition to cost savings, this tool also improves industrial safety and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
